I wanna be best friends with Roisin Conaty

If I ever do go to a Costco, there’s a very good chance it will be the downtown one. It’s close to a SkyTrain station.

Be sure to have a deep fried Mars bar for dessert.

That doesn’t seem right, either.

If anyone starts shaking flour over you, be on your guard!

(Don’t come for me — I LOVE Scotland. But.)

I just found out that in Scotland they deep fry pizza slices in batter 😳

Maybe my ancestors were right to leave.

I don’t drive, but everyone assumes that everyone drives. North American life is organized around driving to a degree that largely goes unquestioned by people who are used to driving everywhere.

CASABLANCA may be the most correctly rated movie of all time

Whhaatt! Blocked!

Jk, I don’t care, even though I’m a huge Star Wars fan 😀

What’s something you have never done, that makes you an extreme outlier in North American society?

Me — I have never been to Costco.

Personally, I hate the term “high functioning”. It’s very misleading and doesn’t take into consideration the amount of extreme effort it takes to function at all.

Get his ass, king.

Someone said they carry a Ziploc bag full of confetti with them at all times so they can celebrate when it happens.

Snow coming down thickly and sticking to the roofs of buildings

What the heck is going on

Huh, it’s snowing ❄️

The more the current US administration bends the country towards full-on fascism, the more you’re going to see this pattern from US entertainers. We’re already seeing it.

I’ve been thinking a lot lately about the 1981 film MEPHISTO, directed by István Szabó and starring Klaus Maria Brandauer. It’s about an actor who makes a Faustian bargain with the Nazi party during WWII in order to continue performing, while other actors protest the regime or go into exile. 1/2

You think???

As usual, the time change has completely wiped me out. Glad we won’t be doing this any more!

In general, media people are a bad fit for public office but this is a big exception.

Yeah 😞

Looking at old censuses is depressing because you see people renting an entire house on one salary for a family with 5 kids for $21/mo in 1931. And father’s occupation is “labourer - railroad”.

If the inflation calculator I used is correct, that’s equivalent to about $422/mo CAD today.

Last night I dreamed I spent an evening wandering around Vancouver with Chris Fleming, and at one point we bumped into Helen Mirren and had a brief chat with her.

What would the world be without women? What would punk be without women? ❤️

For me, there's no other music genre that offers such a wide variety of personalities and voices.

I get yelled at for saying this but for many hundreds of years people went to university not to get diplomas or be employable but because immersion in the humanities was considered foundational to a good life, and school must return to its original purpose: the joy of learning.

Furious! lol

a woman in a green dress is saying look if anyone has the right to complain it 's me Alt: Betty White as Rose on The Golden Girls saying “look, if anyone has the right to complain, it’s me!”

I appear to be sick again just one week after recovering from previous illness. To whom do I complain?

This is wildly common in chronic illness because doctors are taught to cure and not treat. So they’re not flexible or imaginative and if it doesn’t work the way they were taught or expect they can’t just mark it in their win column so it’s not worth their time and now you’re making them work
